    I measure my glasses of wine at home so I know how many calories to log.

    Franzia or a lot of other whites are 105 for a 5 oz glass, the reds I drink are 125 for 5 oz.

    Beer is so much easier because it's either a tall or a bottle so you know how many oz they are and can log accurately.

    As for drinks, 0 yesterday, 0 today, 0 until at least Friday and then, I want beer!! :drinker:

    As for water 20 glasses yesterday, 10 so far today.

    The Beer Prayer

    Our lager,
    Which art in barrels,
    Hallowed be thy drink.
    Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk),
    At home as it is in the pub.
    Give us this day our foamy head,
    And forgive us our spillage's,
    As we forgive those who spill against us.
    And lead us not to incarceration,
    But deliver us from hangovers.
    For thine is the beer, The bitter, The lager.

    HEY LUSHES,

    Monday, 5 drinks (1bottle of red)
    Tuesday, 0
    Wedsnesday, 0
    Thursday, 0
    Friday, 5 drinks (bottle of skinny margs)
    Saturday, 0
    Sunday, 0


    Why is it, that I felt I needed to finish the whole bottle?

    I was kind of done at 3/4 of the way...but, I just couldn't cork it and put it away.

    Anybody else like that????

    It is a sin in our house to put away a bottle of any wine when it drops below 3/4 and oddly enough neither of us will touch it later.

    The booze is a little different and tends to last longer. Not by much though....

    too, funny. Unless we cook with the wine it is gone too. Don't really have much need for the cork! I love rum and it is way less calories but, alas, it is bad for my marriage...lol so, beer and wine it is.

    Robin, why did you have an interview with a recruiter? Is the current job not going well or are you just keeping your feelers out there?

    Um, I forgot everything else. :laugh:
    I love my current job but it is a contract position and I need benefits, (vacation, sick leave, retirement etc) and a little more security as to my career. I love Boeing but getting on Direct is hard so I have to look at other options.

    My husband works for another company, along side boeing on their 787 project and travels up there often. he isn't always pleased with the progress of the project but enjoys visiting WA. He went to school up there.

    I'm in a bit of a exercise rut. someone kick my *kitten* please. :grumble:
    I'm doing ok with the calorie intake..but i've been so horribly lazy since spring break.

    SoCal, I'm currently hooked on On Demand/Exercise TV. Chris Freytag seems nice and sweet but wow I'm sweating my hiney off by the 20 minute mark. Nice quick and feels like ya accomplished something. Watch the lower body one if you have bad knees though. Mine is now upset with me.

    So far so good on this ultra sweet detox week!

    I can say honestly I do workout more on the weeks I do not indulge. I have racked 1000+ cal burn over the last days.

    Do not kid yourself though... as soon as I can wrap my hands around something cold, tall and domestic I will be it doing 10-12 times in a row! :drinker:

    *kicks SoCal's a$s* Get to working!

    I'm in a rut(ish) too. Track season started on Monday--I'm the high jump coach for my middle school team--so by the time I get home it's 5 and last night, I had the boy's soccer practice. Meh, I'm moving around a bit while I'm practicing (and wearing my HRM) so I'm counting it.

    HAHA!!!

    Seeing that I would need to dig up a "fresh one" to meet that criteria I will say it is a BEER!

    That and my better half is shorter than me ( I am 5' 10').

    Thanks for the laugh! :laugh:

    Woke up feeling like crap. sore throat, stuffy sinus, pounding head and so tired I couldn't keep going. (I got up and showered to go to work but that was as far as I got.)

    I finally had a good workout last night and then blew it by having wine with the halibut. it was good but I didn't really want it all but DH gave me his half and I drank it. why didn't I stop? I think open wine bottles have a magic spell on them that says to never never recork.
    here's to a new day.

    So, for all of us suffering from the open bottle syndrome...should we buy smaller bottles???

    Robin, hope you feel better. Your in good company, I don't stop either. Halibut sounds delish
    Chrisyoung, thanks for clarifying...I would bet, you like your woman hot instead of cold anyway

    I am way more sore today than yesterday, dumb Crossfit! Last night I am not sure how much I drank, I had a big bottle of cheap red and made lasagna and a couple friends came over. The bottle is pretty much done...
    Margs tonight.

    I too suffer from this. During the week I try to buy the small single serve bottles 4-pack and make them last all week. Then the weekend comes and I always buy the big bottle.
    SoCal, I also seem to be in a rut too. I have vowed to walk every day for at least 20 minutes. This sounds funny but my dog also needs to lose weight so he is my motivation right now, HAVE to take him for a walk. I wanted to start on a heavier workout but they are intimidating, I even bought a yoga dvd that I have yet to try. I know I can walk so at least I'm doing something.
